No, the most disturbing part is that we were one of the satisfactory search results.

Actually, even more disturbing than that is the diligence with which this person went through their results, checking out each page. That search string, even with the highest level of filtering set in Google preferences?
Does not produce b.org in the first five pages.

Huh, if we're a valid response to the creepy torture search string, Google won't let me see it, no matter how strict or loose my settings.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It mightn't have been Google, Sean.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

ita, you inspired me to look at my referrer logs.
Mine aren't as exciting though. I just have stuff like "tim sucks" and "why the hell was wonderfalls filmed in canada?!"
ETA: Also. A lot of Seinfeld requests.

I love referrer logs. I'm completely addicted. Backtracking the URLs to my picture sites? Hours of fun.
Okay -- checked.
If you use the teoma.com service to search on that string, it hits our links page. So they may have found some of what they were looking for.
